Lasting Moments
Nieulotne · dir. Jacek Borcuch
Poland, Spain 2012, 93’
Screenings
10/23, 11:30 · Kino Centrum
It is a very emotional love story about Michal and Karina, two Polish students, who meet and fall in love with each other, during a working holiday — grape harvesting in sunny Spain. This merry holiday romance is suddenly interrupted by a dramatic event that changes their life for ever.
As the director has put it: “Lasting Moments is a contemporary attempt to take a closer look at the human condition, in a micro-scale. We observe a slow decomposition of their seemingly well-organised world, through the eyes of young people.”
